Why not just give everyone graduating with an advanced degree easy access into the citizenship track?  Seems like its a pretty good idea across the board.  You want to be a US citizen, just get an advanced degree and we’ll roll out the red carpet.

Its funny how the E36 M3 Verts were the last of the E36 lines.  Even with the upcharge of the vert they were cheaper than the E46 Coupes.  Plus they sold most of the verts with automatic transmissions made by GM I think.  Not exactly a sporty transmission when its also used in the Izuzu trooper, Amigo, and Rodeo.

Well, anything with Dinan on it means it was bought by a yuppie who probably didn’t know what they were doing and didn’t maintain it. So run like hell. Dinan was simply a way for dealers to separate stupid yuppies from their cash while providing no actual improvements, most of the time it was a downgrade.  Dinan…

Ironically, this is par for the course for a Coupe in similar condition.

Or you are buying a house and want to keep your credit open. Or you don’t know if you like the car and want to try it out or you have tax situations that make a lease advantageous. There are lots of reasons that you take a lease over buying. Yes, the lease is almost always more expensive, but that is one of the many…

You don’t know the world of used Mclarens. The MP4-12C came with a Graziano flappy paddle gearbox. There are no spare parts, you can only get a rebuilt transmission. Even when you want one, they are hard to come by. They are kind of made out of eggshells and have been failing at less than 5000 miles and cost north of…

20k of repairs on a porsche is a clutch change on the flappy paddle gearbox, or the dreaded IMS, or electronics, or I could go on and on. The lovely V10 bi turbo touareg was great, but a nightmare to maintain and the costs exceeded the value of the vehicle a long time ago. The land cruiser of the same era is still…

How much cooler would it be if it was a dog leg shift pattern and not a mentally challenged shift pattern?

You make some valid points. I don’t find modern Ferrari’s attractive, and they haven’t been attractive in a decade or more. The Bugatti’s and Lamborghinis are now German car companies so that’s irrelevant, and have you been to France or Italy lately? I swear they just ugly them up just because they are that arrogant. …

People don’t buy Toyotas for the interior, they buy them for the peace of mind. Toyotas last forever and doesn’t’ cost a fortune to maintain after warranty. You can’t say that about the other vehicles you listed.

Shipping charges would be extra. I have always bought my cars from whatever region has the best deals/incentives. It has never been a problem. Most of the time the deals far exceed the $500 shipping charges and most small town dealers will happily sell you anything they have over the phone without giving you a…

Does it have the extended warranty that covers the nightmare transmission when it grenades and costs $40k to replace?  If not, then its crack pipe all day long.

This is an MP4, no one wants it without the extended warranty because the transmission is a 40k time bomb.

No, that would be a violation of the interstate commerce act.  Whoever told you that was also an idiot.  The rules only require that you purchase the vehicle from a dealer in that region.

I rarely drink, its just not my thing.  However, drinking is a necessity on a first date.  If you don’t have at least one drink your date is going to pass on date #2.  You can go play mini-golf or go bowling on the 3rd date, but the first date is the meet and greet and I would say alcohol is the social lubricant that…

Of course, there is always a catch, you will notice that most of the more aggressive discounts are in the Southwest region. I spoke with a Fiat dealer in Texas who told me that FCA has offered the best rebates for customers in this region. So if you are in Boston and hoping to score a deal on a Spider from Austin,…

Well, new cars have 10-30k oil changes now, so your argument is null.

For $36,000 you can get a base Gladiator with hand crank windows.

“There’s significantly less opportunity for revenue after the sale,” [Jeff Laethem, owner of Ray Laethem Buick GMC in Detroit] said, “so that is going to be probably the biggest disruption.

It can tow a normal boat to a normal lake.  I can’t afford an ocean liner.
